Arctic inhabitant (5)
I believe the answer is:
inuit
'arctic inhabitant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for inuit that I've seen before include "Lifetime's occupation" , "Low-quality China tea" , "Dwellers in the furthest north of America" , "One from the far north" , "Eskimos" .)
